RR dynos have a tendency to be very generous and innacurate as you mention.
Looking for maximum low rpm response is a fine choice. But Rob has stated he wanted 250 to 280 hp. You are not going to get .36 exhaust housing to make anywhere close to those power levels.
I don't think Rob will be happy with a stage 2 T3. One is giving away far too much potential power.
Yes your right a .36 will never get anywhere near that, 230bhp is really pushing it.

Karlos - i remeber speaking to you at a PF meet once about your engine, its certainly a good spec, esp with higher CR. Struck me as a strange idea, but as im getting more and more into and learning about turbo'd cars i now see the logic! Its funny how some people swear by low comp...
Ive just brought a stage 3 t3 for my standard comp efi engine... Bit worried i won't boost until 5k now!
Ah yes was a while back now not been down there i ages!
Yes mate high CR is fine for upto around 300bhp so unless you want more why go low comp and lose low/midrange power and response?!
It wont be too bad, full boost of say 21psi by 4k
latest on a stock head, cam and manifolds IME.
Whats your spec?
